Mail::Miner version 2.0
==========================
If you install Mail::Miner and set it up so that mail is routed through
Mail::Audit::Miner (see the documentation) or piped through mm_process,
then attachments will be replaced by instructions about how to use the
"mm" command-line utility to detach them. You also have a handy database
of all your email that you can prod. :)
See the "mm" tool for more details of how you can search this database
for email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, and so on.
INSTALLATION
You will need mysql installed.
To install this module, create a new Postgres database according to the
schema in miner.sql, and give yourself access to it. Then type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Now you have to make sure your incoming mail gets processed by
Mail::Miner. You can do this by putting a pipe to mm_process in your
procmailrc, or, if you're using Mail::Audit, by using
Mail::Audit::Miner. (Included in this distribution.) See the
documentation for that module for more details.
DEPENDENCIES
This module requires these other modules and libraries:
MIME::Parser
Date::Manip
Mail::Address
Class::DB::mysql
Lingua::EN::Keywords
SUPPORT
This software is currently unsupported. It hasn't eaten my mailbox, but
I don't want to say it won't eat yours. But I find it useful, and you
might too.
